Development Centers (DC) is a non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of individuals, families, and the comm ... unity by meeting behavioral, health, human and vocational needs through a continuum of prevention, intervention, treatment and training services. Development Centers (formerly DCI) was incorporated in 1983 as the result of a merger between two long-standing agencies, Children's Orthogenic Center and Phoenix Place. As such, we have a combined history of providing behavioral health services to children and adults in Northwest Detroit that extends back to the mid 1940's. At the time of the change in name, DC had a staff of 24 and served 700 consumers annually through its 4 programs. Over the next 20+ years as the number of individuals and families requesting services increased and as the needs of our community changed, DC responded. Today, we have a staff of over 300 and provide services to 10,000+ consumers and participants annually at our 20 service locations in Northwest Detroit and Western Wayne County. read more
